A Waiting Room Sketch

The longer the wait, the more details get added to my sketch! Here I was feeling like a walking tent in the (one size fits all) hospital dressing gown when a lady walked in wearing her own fluffy pink dressing gown with matching slippers! Unfortunately she sat next to me so I couldn't sketch her.



This place has got too familiar in the past two years but from the good results this time, I will have seen the back of it for awhile.

The Rotunda, Wilson Botanic Park

Perched on high ground above a waterlily lake this is the Rotunda at Wilson Botanic Park, Berwick. A popular spot for weddings and I'm told there's sometimes an evening concert held there. 

After 5 months of health issues it was great to be out with a few sketcher friends, what a lovely hot day for a change!

Pitcher Plant Plus!

This Pitcher Plant didn't do well over winter so we cut the brown tipped leaves back but it has produced a wonderful flower! I've including a couple of our indoor succulents on this page spread for aesthetic reasons. One has produced a rather uninspiring spire of flowers but the other continues to delight in it's very miniature teacup pot. The pot is literally one inch in diameter and we have had it for some years!
